MI KEARNrT n NEW YORK.
One cite characters now to be seen
IN New York is Denis Kearney, of
San FrcBcO, who came here q few
weeks % to raise the old cry with
which } nce stirred up California,
1.-The Onee Must Got" He gets his
anti-Chpseletters and interviews with
the dailpaprs. He recently held an
auh-Chisse Meeting in Cooper Union.
He Is lseigug all quarters with his
anti-Chiese appeals; he carried bevy
/ OF reponrs iro the Chinese dens, and
/ 1t IS aGertisa that be is about to
have pbhc d'batc on the subject with
Wong Ching no, the cleverest China
MANN New Yor. He has within few
weeks jaised moe interest in the Chi
nes' question thin has ever before ex-
std here. The interest in his crusade
Il increased by he steady growth of
Ia Chinese element. which now num-
hes between fouland five thousand men
iINew York and Brooklyn. The anti
Chinese crusader declares that this is the
pradise to which millions OF Cinnamon
10 looking, and hat we are in danger
{ q doluge of thin within the next few
ears. They areready to take up other
ursults besides hat Of the laundry, as
hey have done il California.
There is certainly an extraordinary de-
rec of vim in Kmrney's short, thick-set
rame, pugnacims face, belligerent
ongue. and rougl ways. He will talk
IF nothing bat hs anti-Chinese crusade
nd his determination to drive all the
Chinese lepers out of the United
itates before he dies.
He says his object here is to stir the peo-
lie up to demand from Congress the pas
age of the Chimes exclusion bill that was
Introduced at the asst session. The exist
lg restriction lawis insufficient. 1t does
OF, rs a matter of fact, debar the Chi
csc who resort TO all sorts Of subter-
uges in their anxious attempts to reach
his country. lie says that, to secure
he necessary legislation, he must raise
Il anti-Chinese agitation in the eastern
tates, for it is the eastern people alone
no have stood in the way Of the mea-
III S desired upon the Pacific coast and
/ other parts of the West.
There is good reason TO believe that
barnev's object will be gained, and that
te Mitchell bill will become a law at the
pesent session OF Congress. In that
cent there Will be no more ship-loads of
Cinnamon brought into the port OF San
Foncisco.
But Denis Kearney's anti Chinese cru
SIDE will not be ended even then. He
i next TO begin his agitation in Canada.
lie says that the Chinese are entering
tie ports Of the British provinces on the
PoGfic, from whence, by the Canadian
Paifc railroad and other lines OF transit,
thy are conveyed TO our borders, over
vfch they cross at their own conve-
nsnca. Hence it is imperative that a
Oinese-exclusion act should be passed
trough the Parliament of the New Do
ri1ion of Ottawa. Kearney will devote
Enscif to the securing of this legislation
Z Canada as SOON as the Mitchell bill Is
:nacted by Congress.
Certainly this man Kearney has shown
IN amazing pertinacity of purpose since
irst he began his anti-Chinese crusade
n san Francisco a dozen year ego.

characters. At table directly
rnder this picture sat a man who looked
